Matt Damon may soon be asking the same questions about his identity as Jason Bourne.

A Reddit user sent social media into shock after they posted a black and white image of Damon’s doppelganger.

The user – who goes by the name coffeeandtrout online – posted the image of his father from the 1960s alongside the caption: “My parents Wedding day, February 1961. I think Dad looks like Matt Damon......”

The 75-year-old man from “suburban Seattle” has an almost identical face structure and smile to the Hollywood star.

Same person: The mystery man and Matt Damon could be identical twins

The picture caused a stir online with some claiming that it is proof of Damon’s time travelling abilities: “I'm not sure this isn't photoshopped. Or Matt Damon is a time traveller.”

Another wrote: “The DNA test results are in... you are the Matt Damon!!”

Those who were convinced that Damon and the man in the picture are the same person were left disappointed when ‘coffeeandtrout’ revealed that his father was six foot at the time the picture was taken. Damon is said to be five foot ten.

The mystery user revealed his parents were married happily married until his mother died in 2015: "Thanks, they were. Mom passed away last year. Dad's still trying to adjust. They were great together."
